Dings Brake :: Hazardous Location

Dings hazardous location brakes are UL listed and CSA certified for use in atmospheres containing explosive vapors and materials. Every model meets the requirements of both Class I Groups C and D and Class II Groups E, F, and G.

Important Note: If a hazardous location brake is purchased by other than an authorized electric motor manufacturer, a foot mounting bracket must also be purchased to obtain the UL Label.

Thermal Overload Mechanism
When the external surface of the brake approaches the specified temperature limit, the thermal overload mechanism will automatically release the brake and hold it in the released position. This mechanism prevents the surface temperature from rising to a level that could ignite surrounding gases or dusts by releasing the brake and thereby stopping a further increase in temperature.

CAUTION: Once the brake has been released by the thermal overload mechanism, control over the rotation of the motor and movement of the load is lost. This uncontrolled rotation of the motor and movement of the load could cause injury to personnel and damage to property.

Thermal Switch
The brake is also equipped with a thermal switch. When properly wired into the motor starting circuit, the thermal switch shuts down the motor before the thermal overload mechanism releases the brake. When the thermal switch activates, it stops the motor and load, preventing the uncontrolled motion described in the "caution" above.
